Little Justin
February 23, 2007
I received this email today:
“One day a fourth grade teacher asked her students what their fathers did for a living. All the typical answers came up, fireman, mechanic, businessman, salesman, doctor, lawyer. However, little Justin was being uncharacteristically quiet, so when the teacher prodded him about his father he replied, “My father’s an exotic dancer in a gay cabaret. He takes off all his clothes in front of other men and they put money in his underwear. Sometimes, if the offer is really good, he will go home with one of customers and stay all night for money.” The teacher was obviously shaken by this statement, so she hurriedly set the other kids to work on some exercises. Then she took little Justin aside and asked him, “Is that really true about your father?” “No.”, Justin said, “He works for the Democratic National Committee helping Hillary Clinton run to be our next President, but I was too embarrassed to say that in front of the other kids.”
But that’s just me

We had a little Super Bowl party at my house this evening. Melanie and I, as well as our friends Josh and Alisha were pulling for the Colts. Our other friends Ken and Suzanne were pulling for the Bears, though, there was a little air of competition in the house. Well, let’s just say that most of us were pleased with the result.
Oh, and Peyton Manning shouldn’t have gotten the MVP. Don’t get me wrong, I really like Peyton. That said, though, I’d have given the award to Joseph Addai, who racked up good yardage both rushing and receiving.
But that’s just me, apparently.
Thinking about this more, I may have done something that hasn’t been done in almost 30 years, and selected both of the Colts’ running backs co-MVPs. Dominique Rhodes ran wild in the second half and having him share the honors with Addai would have been fitting.
But that’s just me.
Another thing, how on Earth did the Bears get to the Super Bowl with Rex Grossman as their quarterback? He’s horrible, just truly horrible. Sure, he had 160+ yards passing, but half of it came when they were down by two scores and were just trying to get some yardage to make it look respectable at the end. He had no business throwing those two passes which were intercepted. Those passes weren’t even close. Looking at his stats for the season, we see that there were 5 games in the regular season where he completed less than 50% of his attempts, including the ever-so-impressive 6-19 for 34 yards against Minnesota and 2-12 for 33 yards against Green Bay. Those two games earned him QB ratings of 1.3 and 0.0. Yeah, you read that right: 0.0 on the QB rating. Big fat goose eggs. Did you even know that was possible? Neither did I. So, he has to be the suckiest Super Bowl QB ever!
But, once again, that’s just me.
Traveling Man, Redux
February 3, 2007
I’m going to be traveling again this coming week. I’m heading to Utah on Thursday morning to spend (nearly) a week making money. I’m pretty excited, as my friend and I are going to be working together on a photo project. I’m taking my Canon EOS 20D with its assortment of lenses, etc., and Kimball is going to be using his Canon EOS 5D. Yeah, I kinda DO have a little bit of Canon-envy over his 5D, but I can get out of that frame of mind by remembering that mine was only half the price of his. If that.
